Grant Management

Unlock your project’s potential.

Communities and developers need funding to facilitate complex community development programs and disaster recovery efforts. But finding sources of funding is just the first step in what is often a complex and time-consuming process. To see projects through and ultimately create a positive impact on communities, developers and governments must carefully manage funds while maintaining compliance with the maze of rules and regulations attached to grant funding programs.

CSRS can help you manage grant funding to enable your vision.

For decades, developers and city, county, and state governments have turned to CSRS to simplify and streamline the federal grant management process and assist with resilient capital planning. CSRS has managed over $5 billion in federal grant funds for communities recovering from the historic devastation. So our experts fully understand the ins and outs of the FEMA Public Assistance Program, HUD Community Development Block Grants, bond programs, and other resiliency funding sources. However, we are more than just funding experts. Our background in engineering, architecture, and planning means we understand what you want to accomplish with your funding. Moreover, we can help you realize your vision for an improved and resilient community faster.

We put your end goals first.

As your grant management advisor, CSRS starts by understanding your project goals and values. Then, we help you identify and uncover all available sources of funding to achieve your objectives and vision.

We not only help you navigate the grant application process and secure the maximum amount of funding available under the law, but from day one, we also help you spend it wisely. We build a financial model and program plan that adheres to all federal regulations and policies while incorporating strategic financing solutions that make the most of your funds. Then, we provide integrity monitoring to manage the flow of funds and stay on top of all accounting, tax, and bond issues. Throughout the process, we look out for and quickly resolve any non-compliance issues, helping you minimize the risk of waste, negative audits, or loss of funding.

Beyond successfully managing the financial aspects of your project, CSRS helps deliver your ultimate vision. We can facilitate the right public/private partnerships to further your objectives. Moreover, we manage the entire design, engineering, and construction process to bring your project full circle and achieve your goal of a stronger, sounder, more resilient community.

Make the impact you desire.

With the help of the CSRS team, getting from funding to reality can be more efficient than you ever imagined. We are ready to help you take full advantage of federal assistance while avoiding common pitfalls and delays.
